| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Pretending an Unprotective Mother is Protective |
| I give this movie 5 stars because I admire the courage of Celesta in confronting the man who molested her. I think she did a service for all people who have been molested. She showed them (us) a way to get their power back.
Celesta's mother knew about the abuse of her daughters but continued to be friends with the molester and expose her daughters to him. Celesta calls this behavior 'protective' because it was the 1970's and that was what people did, just went on and pretended nothing happened. If that doesn't make sense to you that's because it doesn't make sense. Those are the words of a woman who cannot face that her mother did not protect her from a child abuser. At the end of Celesta's confrontation with the molester, her mother hugs him and says, "I love the good things about you." What a kick in the gut for her daughters. To me, this is the real story; a daughter's remarkable contortion of reality in order to avoid the pain of her mother's horrible betrayal. |
